Deepening Local Democracy in Latin America
The resurgence of the Left in Latin America over the past decade has been so notable that it has been called “the Pink Tide.” In recent years, regimes with leftist leaders have risen to power in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and Venezuela. What does this trend portend for the deepening of democracy in the region? Benjamin Goldfrank has been studying the development of participatory democracy in Latin America for many years, and this book represents the culmination of his empirical investigations in Brazil, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In order to understand why participatory democracy has succeeded better in some countries than in others, he examines the efforts in urban areas that have been undertaken in the cities of Porto Alegre, Montevideo, and Caracas. His findings suggest that success is related, most crucially, to how nationally centralized political authority is and how strongly institutionalized the opposition parties are in the local arenas.

Criminal Litigation and Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure
Criminal Litigation & Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure is designed to incorporate the substantive law of criminal procedure into a trial advocacy course. The traditional trial advocacy course is concerned almost exclusively with "skills training" (e.g., learning techniques for cross-examining a witness), but does not incorporate much, if any, substantive law. Conversely, a traditional substantive course on criminal law or criminal procedure focuses exclusively on legal principles and doctrine, but does not involve training students in courtroom advocacy skills concerning substantive law. In Criminal Litigation & Legal Issues in Criminal Procedure, author Brent Newton merges elements from these two types of courses into one and seeks to bridge the gap between them.
Cadeados: o amor é a chave
“Para todo mundo, eu perdera apenas a audição. Para mim, perdera toda minha vida.” Após encerrar sua jornada no exterior, Pamella retorna ao Brasil para prestar vestibular e seguir a carreira na área da saúde, ao invés de se tornar uma artista como todos na família. Seus planos e sonhos são bruscamente interrompidos por um acidente de carro. Meses depois, ainda se recuperando do coma, do luto e do abandono pelo namorado, novos sintomas surgem. E, então, da noite para o dia, ela se descobre surda. Com a ajuda da irmã e amigos, Pam deverá interagir com o mundo através do tato e da visão, sem perder sua identidade. Precisará aprender a se adaptar à sua nova condição, a se conectar novamente com a sociedade, a se comunicar, a confiar, a amar e ser amada outra vez, a sobreviver à sua deficiência. Após tanto tempo sentindo-se trancada dentro de um mundo silencioso e solitário por fortes cadeados, ela descobrirá que o amor é a única chave: o amor por alguém, por si mesma e pela vida.

Parkinson's Disease Management through ICT

Whither College Sports
Intercollegiate athletics is under assault from all sides. Its economic model is yielding increasing and unsustainable deficits and widening inequality. Coaches and athletic directors are the highest paid employees at FBS universities (NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision) by factors of five to ten, or more. Athletes are being cheated on their promised education, do not receive adequate medical care, and are not allowed to receive cash income. Substantial change, either toward reasserting the intended primacy of education for intercollegiate athletes or a further surrender to commercialism, is coming. This book lays out the starkly different paths that college sports reform can follow and what the ramifications will be on the athletes and on the institutions in which they are enrolled.
